IMPORTANT:
After upgrading your TV, it is necessary to perform a "cold start". This means that, after the TV is running again (after the update), shut down the TV, wait 1 minute (till all components are shut down), and unplug the TV from the mains (pull power cord) for 2 minutes before starting again.

This is my second update after the one from last month. It seems it gets worse each time. Previous version had a bug at TV wake up from standby. Statistically, 1 time out of 3 it didn't wake up and I had to unplug the tv from mains.

With this one it is a bigger nightmare. Changing the channels takes 5 seconds minimum. If I'm out of luck, the tv is stuck and there is no other way but to unplug it again.

I am waiting for a resolution of this or an older more stable SW version.

No chance DaDiro for any resonable fixes, Philips guys just give a shit on customers. In next version they will change font color in russian version and some security issue in Burkina Faso soft. I'm disapointed and will never ever buy Philps.

you really need to give away the source
as a programmer i need to say your programmer stuff should write games for 3y old kids
this is all a joke !

using 47PFL5008K/12 fw 3.07
just the most important things that shouldn't go wrong but did BIG TIME
- switching channels laggy as hell
- smart tv sometimes not recognizing that internet is ok
- smart tv laggy beyond hell
- 3D options should be available ALL THE TIME !!!

i always try new fw but always going back to 002.030.000.001 as it's the most usable (not enyojable)

TIP FOR ALL: always download new version and have a backup as you may never know when philips does bad firmware (till now always) and you CAN flash to lower version, just don't know why philips doesn't give all firmwares public so user can decide

Philips - Ina any feedback on that?

sorry for atitude, but hey philips has worse atitude to us (read all above...)

I believe I found the problem. It seems this new firmware version has a very big bug. If there is a USB memory device (HDD, memory stick, etc.) all TV functions are delayed, it's very laggy and there are some different side-effects like:
- slow channel change;
- slow reaction to any command;
- after several commands like fast channel change the tv is stuck (is missing just the blue screen );
- if you want to power off the TV, there is a big chance not to shut down completely;
- even after unplug/plug it back, it is still stuck and needs a command like channel change to come back to life;
- if I programmed it to record a tv show, it starts, but it never ends the recording;
- more, the only way to stop it is to unplug it from source and wait at least a minute, after that, the recording is visible on the HDD, but it can't be played.

Anyway, I tried with several HDDs and the result is the same. Once the HDD is disconnected, the TV works perfectly fine.
I am very disappointed by your firmware updates, frankly, I am trying a feeling of disappointment in Philips in general and in this TV in particular.

It would be great to have access to older versions just to be able to have a stable one until the bugs are fixed.

On the other hand, I see there is no official response at my first post, so I start to believe there is no interest in resolving this issue. You can simply do you job to post about a new firmware version and start a new tread once a month, but show no interest in the real issues that annoy the final users.

Sorry, but this is my feeling about this forum!

Hope to have some feedback soon, maybe before the next firmware release!

Cheers!

The Following User Says Thank You to DaDiRo For This Useful Post:

I bought a 42pfl5008M/08, with the firm he had, was a marvel 2:00 ... fast, I updated to the latest version, slow and crashes almost always, the remote control does not respond I have to disconnect the power plug. Can I go back? that's the risk? where can I find the firm that had just purchased? thanks

It works when the tv is off and I just use the ambilight for mood. But when I turn on the TV, it goes off after about 30 seconds. Nothing I can do will bring it back.

The tv has been reset several times, updated to this firmware, and been disconnected from the mains over night. Is my less then a week old tv defect?

Also, the default picture settings must be some of the worst ones I've ever seen. Never needed to adjust so much as I must with this tv. Other than that I love the picture-quality and the 3D is really good.

I also disconnected the HDD. The real issue is that I can't record any TV show I can't watch at the moment it is broadcasted. I can cope with no having the HDD connected all the time. It's useful when I'm not around to use the TV. It would be great to keep it always connected, but it would be a great start point.

I had no big problems with new software, I tried to use TV (32pfl5008k) with HDD connected and had no difference in the TV behaviour when it is without HDD. (HDD is not for recording, it is external storage with movies, pic.. etc). Also had no problem with ambilight, it works fine.

Positive:
volume bar is working continously on SMART TV (increasing/decreasing when you hold the button).

Negative:
SMART TV is showing 2 hours more than real time?
If HDD or USB drive is connected, when you start TV after few seconds of TV program showing it goes on USB
mode. This should be triggered only if there is firmware on USB. Otherwise, you should choose USB from source
menu, in case you need it.
